EniOYinE the Picture.

A lady who resides on Delaware ave-
nue. has a girl in her employ fresh from
some region far removed from the thu
atre. Thinking to give the girl a grand
treat, and knowing that she had never
seen theatre, the lady purchased a
ticket for a play at the opera house. The
girl went, but returned before o'clock
What is the matter? Did you not
like it?' asked the mistress.
''Oh, liked it ever so much; it's a
fine painting.
But, =" inquired her mistress, why
have you returned so soon: Surely you
didn't see it ALP
Yes, ma am, did. l went in and
sat down and looked at the large picture
hanging up in front. People kept COM
ing in, and pretty soon there was quite a
crowd, all looking at the picture. Then
they took it away, and some men and
women went to talking up there where it
had been about something that didn' t
concern me, so got up and came home.
But l enjoyed the picture. Whining

The empress of Russia has quite as

her in health. If one eats heartily and

HOW Rachel Met Her Death.

Rachel's death blow was dealt by her
performance in Lies Horaces" at the
Walnut Street theatre in Philadelphia,
when the thermometer was several
degrees below zero. and when not fire
was lighted in the house except in the
stars dressing room. But Raphael
Felix, the brother of Rachel, was TO
blame for that catastrophe. He had
taken the theatre in its entirety, assum-
ing all the expenses of heating, lighting.
ETC., and he thought it probably a mas
ter stroke of economy to suppress the
furnace fires, or possibly he did not
trouble his head about them. But
Rachel awoke the next morning, gasping
with pneumonia, and his saving in fuel
resulted ultimately in the death of his
great sister. l was present at that last
representation, and I shall never forget
it. The cold was intense in the house as
well as on the stage. Opposite me sat
Mrs. James Rush, then the acknowledged
leader of Philadelphia society, wrapped
in an immense ermine cloak, and she
told me afterward that even in spite of
that fur garment she suffered for days
afterward from bronchitis caught on
that occasion. A young Philadelphia
society beauty, debutante of the season
before, caught, like Rachel herself, q
fatal cold. and died before the winter
was at an end.-New York World.

Protection Frnm Fire

An ingenious Buffalo man has invented
device which he thinks will prevent the
spread of fire through elevator shafts.
His idea is to erect a stand pipe in one
corner of the shaft with branches of per-
forat pipe of smaller size surrounding
the well at each floor. The water can be
turned into each of these perforated pipes
simultaneously by simply pulling a lever
at point remote from the elevator. thus
filling the shaft with a shower of spray,
which, he thinks, will check the flames
at that DOint-NeW York Sun.

An Enormous Crvsta,.

1t Is well known, of course, that Amer
lea has long been celebrated the world
over as the home of enormous crystals
and the prOdigiOus specimens of apatite
beryl and other minerals have been the
subject of wonderment. But among these

by the excavations in the Eta tin mine.
in Pennington county, d. t, are believed
to be without rival III respect to size.
According to the report made on this
subject by Professor Blake, it appears
that one of these crystals is thirty-six
feet in length in a straight line, and from
one to three feet in thickness. The cleav-
age is smooth and straight, but the lateral
and terminal planes are described as being

Then he told me; how the farce of snipe- hunting is played in all its glory on every tender foot that comes to Calico Hill, but this was snipe- hunting with the tables turned.

They were wanted for my murder and the theft of BriXley's horse and wagon.

YE POET.

One does not wonder as he reads What causes the repu gnant shiyer,
 When men rehearse
 In morbid verse The ills of disordered liver. Till every thing that runs in feet, In rhythm, sombre hued emerges;
 And not caprice
 Or prejudice Is it that calls them mostly dirges. Iris not bona Jade moan That walls at sIn, at ill or folly;
 Iris but the grist Grinds ont in pose of melancholy. He measures out in lyric vein, Or with a blue idyllic diction
 His hOrrid dreams
 Until 1t seems He's lived through cycles of affiiction. A pensive eye, length of hair In picturesque and weird dishevel;
 Eccentric ways,
 X mien that plays With mu sing maids the very--Shem' An aching void within his midst, A wing for divine affiatus;
 Although he knows
 'Tis but the throes Of his digestive apparatus. The misty, vague, illusive want He feels, yet strives in vain to utter,
 Is but need
 Of bounteous feed, A vulgar slice of bread and butter. And though he speaks of blasted hopes, Laughs metrical and mirthiess laughter
 Hts first square meal
 Would soon reveal The siren he has long been after.

How to Escape.
Chicago Times l

Mir. l5oucicault, in some cxpres- sions of opinion on the late Paris fire in the Opera Comique. puts himself OH record as opposed 10 wide exits. He thinks that wide openings for cgress encourage the people to rush out in case of fire, by which they tramplc on each other. and in this way, mory people are killed than are burned Probably he would provide exits through which, in case of fire, the crowd could move out one at time as they now enter n theatre. IL would be appropriate in case of such m arr rangcmcnt to issue tickets. so that no person could 70 out of the wrong door -as, for instance, that person in the gallery should not bc allowed to go out of the exit provided for the boxes or the orchestra. '4hcrs also should be provided to show the people out, and prevent nything ike ovcr-crowd- ing. A small rate of disInission might al-" bc charged. tickets for which could be obtained after the fire had broken out
